Why can't we just look at a object and admire it? but no...the moment we see something great and grand in nature...instead of enjoying the moment to the fullest...u start thinking...well everything so calm and perfect here...now that cannot be true...there must be something wrong...we human beings have this nasty ability to to find wrongs in near perfect situations....
so the moment we see sunset...we do not let ourselves enjoy that spectacular view...we think..think and think...and then remember something from our own past...then associate the same with the sunset...find the connection...and get nostalgic...in the process..sunset remains just a view in front of our eyes..whereas we mentally r somewhere else...maybe even watching a sunset in the past :)....take any view...we just do the same...off we go somewhere else..sometimes in the past ...sometimes in the future...but never in that moment...

The thing 'nostalgia' is a very confusing thing in the first place...we just can not categorize it into 'good' or 'bad'....it works like a collage...a lot of emotions of either category interspersed together...but one thing is sure...definitely...most of the times it makes our life miserable...
